European Elections 2024: Examining Digital and Far-Right Dynamics
Between 06 and 09 June, the elections for the European Parliament will be held for the tenth time. With over 350 million European Union citizens eligible to vote, the European elections are one of the largest democratic elections in the world. Over the past years, the EU has established itself as an important player in the regulation of digital technologies. Much is at stake during this election, as the continuing support for far-right parties is likely to move the Parliament’s composition substantially to the right. We will discuss how digital technologies and the European elections intersect. Special attention will be dedicated to far-right and populist right actors, such as in the realm of campaigning, social media use, or their possible impact on Europe’s digital future.
